December Degusta Subscription Box Review

December 20, 2020May 20, 2021by Olivia34 Comments

If you didn’t already know, I’m very much a snack lover, which is why I’m so happy I have got the chance to try Desgusta box this month! When the box of goodies turned up at my door I couldn’t contain my excitement. Snacks are perfect for any time of the day. Don’t want a big breakfast? Grab a snack. Feeling peck-ish in-between meals? Grab a snack! There is just something so comforting about having snacks in the house as and when you need them.

This is my first time trying a snack subscription box service before and was so pleased when I received my box full of goodies from Degusta box. The box was filled to the brim with goodies and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this months box was in partnership with Sainsbury’s. Which is good to know, because there are for some some items in there that I want to go and purchase again.

Dear Future Self, I Hope You’re Well

December 18, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia32 Comments

Talking to my future self on my blog was never something I saw myself doing. And to be honest its quite out of the ordinary for me to think forward. I’m more of a let’s look at how far we have come than let’s see how far we still have to go. As I get older I’m constantly recognising things about myself I want to change and evolve.

I think it’s good to always be changing, as long as its for the better. People often get so offended when others say “You’ve changed”, but not me. I take that as a compliment. Why would I want to be the same person they knew 5 years ago? I think it’s such a privilege in life to be evolving into a better person, I don’t know about you but I don’t want to remain the same.

I commend those people, because it really is a hard to grow your blog and make money from it.There is this misconception that you have to have thousands and thousands of followers for companies and brands to want to work with you. And thats really not the case. There has been a rise in companies preferring to use nano and micro influencers.

Me, Myself & Self-doubt

December 15, 2020January 12, 2021by Olivia70 Comments

At some point in our lives we have all experienced self-doubt. A time where we have caught ourselves saying ‘I can’t do this‘. It’s normal and natural to go through those feelings at some point in life. Self-doubt is something I have struggled with before and it happens to me periodically. Self-doubt is a feeling of lack of confidence and not feeling like you can do something. A few examples of when you might experience self doubt are when you are going for a job interview, when you meet new people or when you are starting a new hobby. Self-doubt is something that often comes with romantic relationships too.

When you first start out as a blogger there are so many blogging questions in your mind, because there is so much to learn.

In life we often forget about the importance of the small things that happen in life, and just focus on the big stuff.
